Delivering high quality, working innovations in the cybersecurity sphere

Trust is paramount for us. We seek trust by delivering high quality, working innovations in the cybersecurity sphere. Since its beginning, Surfshark has been recognized by a number of globally acknowledged independent organizations.

 

 

Supporting the open internet

Free, open, and secure internet is the essence of our cause. That is why we proactively support the works of non-profit organizations that advocate for safeguarding the online freedom, reason, and transparency.

From the British Virgin Islands, Surfshark has relocated its official base of operations to the Netherlands. On this matter, Surfshark claimed: "The Netherlands serves no legal obligation for companies to log or retain user data, thus we can continue upholding our strict no-logs policy".



 

Surfshark Nexus technology - a new VPN standard

 

Surfshark Nexus is the VPN’s latest upgrade to improve security and user experience. Surfshark Nexus, is ‘a cutting-edge technology to change VPNs.' Surfshark's Nexus technology is an innovation based on software-defined networking (SDN) technology. The update connects the user to the VPN’s entire network of servers instead of connecting to an individual location (or subgroup of servers).

 

Main purpose:
 

• Greatly improve your online privacy
  
• Allow your IP address to change within a network without disconnecting you from a VPN
  
• Offer new features that will enhance your privacy
  
• Stabilize and speed up your VPN connection both locally and internationally
  

Nexus features address traditional VPN problems
Connecting all of Surfshark VPN servers into a single Nexus network will help roll out new features and benefits that will address common consumer VPN problems:

 

• IP Rotator (feature) will solve the privacy concerns of having the same IP address when connected to a VPN for a long time. It will periodically change your IP address without disconnecting you from the VPN. You’ll be able to choose how you want your IP address to rotate – in a specific location, country, region, or even globally.
  
  
• IP Randomizer (feature) will hide your browsing patterns. When on, this feature will give your device a new IP address every time you visit a different website (or any other internet resource).
  
  
• Dynamic MultiHop (feature) will allow you to pick your own entry and exit VPN locations in any way you like. Want to connect through Austria to the US and then change it to Singapore? Go for it. They’ll be all part of the same network anyways.
  
  
• Better speeds. Nexus will allow us to connect you to the best performing (most of the time they’re the closest) entry servers and allow you to exit through any location you want. This will solve a lot of the international and local internet speed issues.
  
  
• Better connection. Optimizing connection, network performance, or carrying out maintenance will most times be done without disconnecting you from the VPN. So, you’ll experience more stable connections and will receive better protection from DNS and data packet leaks.
  
  
• Better VPN performance. A network of servers will allow us to route your traffic based on your traffic patterns like streaming, downloading, or browsing. This will improve your connection performance. 
  

Surfshark Nexus will deliver new features throughout 2022 and 2023. (Note: "IP Rotator" - which automatically changes the user IP address every few minutes, without having to disconnect is now in place).
